This Foot Care Routine Keeps My Marathon-Loving Feet Hydrated
To date, I’ve ran six half marathons, one full marathon, and a dozen 5K’s and 10K’s. I got into running after my dad passed away. He was an avid marathon runner and I decided it was a cool way to honor him and get fit at the same time. What I didn’t expect was how much I would enjoy it. Running makes me feel unstoppable. It is physically taxing but mentally and emotionally recharging. I run when I’m sad, happy, mad, or stressed. It’s my favorite way to let go of negative emotions (thanks to runner’s high), and as a former gymnast, it taps into my competitive side as I strive to beat my mile times or crush a challenging hill. And of course, a brilliant excuse to treat myself to a new pair of leggings or sports bra, and perfect my foot care routine. The point I’m trying to make is, I love running.
